I find that very hard to believe, there are to many of them out there. My local hobby shop has all kinds of parts for the V1, and assured me they will have for a long time (I hope so, because I have one).

GBX, you might have some luck selling it here, but the parts are easily enough available. I actually just listed some V1 parts for sale. From what I hear many of the parts for the V2 will drop in easily enough. You can also buy a V1 to V 2 conversion kit.

I'm still running a 50 V1 and I have a V2 conversion kit waiting until I smash the everloving crap out of it. Parts are still plentiful and with all due respect to the XRB, put the Rappy together and go fly it. Fuel machines fly a lot better than any electric unless you want to spend a boatload of money on batteries, chargers, and the very best elex helis.
